Whew! That was a close call; have you ever seen Lady M when her blood sugar drops to dangerously low levels? Trust me, not a pretty sight.

Fortunately the SS released the dogs - immediately this time - and Joey Caputo – who wrote anti-government screeds on his Facebook, so undoubtedly was a right-wing nut – didn’t get a chance to deliver his personal notebook of ideas on how to save the world by reducing everyone’s carbon footprint. Or something.

Joey-how you doin’-Caputo

Anyway, if you think your relatives grew drunk and obnoxious waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven, you should have seen what it was like around here.

Better have the little people bring up a few more bottles of champagne

That’s better!

So, add to your list of Thanksgiving blessings the fact that YOU didn’t have to advise Lady M that dinner was being held up indefinitely.

Now let’s get out there and make sure that Black Friday is not a bust. Because if you refuse to shop today, you’re probably a racist.
